Stress

One man was suffering his little daily deaths in the form of job stress and tension. Finally, after he had been overworked to the point of near total exhaustion, he began to pray. He said that almost immediately he received a clear insight into what he had to do. He had to resign as manager of the universe. And God accepted his resignation. Some of us are trying to be manager of the universe. We want to manage the lives of the members of our families. We want to run things down at the Church our way. “And why doesn’t the President do this or that. And when will all the people in government learn to do things my way.” There is a kind of dying involved when we give some of that up, and learn how to trust God to manage the universe.
